Zoo Tycoon Friends lands on Windows Phone and Windows 8

One advantage of being invested in the Microsoft ecosystem is that you get access to tons of exclusive content whose IP is owned by Microsoft. Zoo Tycoon is another such popular game series that we’ve seen evolve over the last decade. Now, Microsoft has released a new game in the series called Zoo Tycoon Friends, exclusively for Windows 8 and Windows Phone users.

Similar to the previous titles, players are tasked with building and maintaining a zoo and attracting visitors at the same time. That’s not all, since teh game introduces a new mode where players are supposed to control human characters and rescue animals around the world that are “in peril from global warming, flooding, drought, and other natural and man-made threats.”

Zoo Tycoon Friends is a universal app and is available for free. Unfortunately, it isn’t supported on devices with just 512MB RAM yet, but that can be changed via an update in the future. Grab the game at the links below.
